Pipeline Cleaning & Preparation

The Problem

Cleaning a pipeline is essential to obtain usable inline inspection data, to prevent corrosion and maximize the throughput. The goal of this procedure is to remove any existing wax, scale or other deposits from the inner pipe wall.

The Solution

Once completed, it is important to evaluate the success of the cleaning run. This analysis is performed to ensure accurate results during a subsequent integrity inspection using ultrasound or magnetic flux tools. Our partners offer a wide range of cleaning tools that can be applied to achieve your objectives. It is our job to ensure that the right tools are deployed in the right sequence. NDT Global experts are proficient in all aspects of pipeline cleaning and cleaning assessment. They can provide expert consulting, services, and equipment tailored precisely to your imperatives. NDT Global works closely with skilled partners to provide a tailor-made solution to your specific cleaning needs – for example, by selecting the right tools in the most effective sequence.
